[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 2893476, member: 8394"] They were popular enough half a dozen major action companies developed a medium length action for them. While not the first short magnum, they were certainly popular enough that remington was inspired to launch the saum line to compete. Eventually even ruger jumped in with the rcm line. Go back 15 to 20 years and they were going like wild fire. Honestly the sst and now prc are corrections to issues with the wsm line, but fundamentally keeping the overall idea. It's probably a valid point that some of the saum and rcm rounds were attempts to get around the user rights issues. Certainly was cited as much back a decade or more ago. When the ip ran its course there certainly was a bloom in available components. It's hard to judge where the market actually is for premium wsm brass, the last 3 years have been such chaos with external factors. It's going to be a while before we see each products standalone merit. [/QUOTE]
